    5. Check the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream.

      HINT: 

      Factors that affect the indicated vehicle speed include tire size, tire pressure, and tire wear. The speed indicated on the speedometer has an allowable margin of error. This can be tested using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer). For details about testing and the margin of error, see the reference chart.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [12/2017 - 10/2020] , or refer to OPERATION CHECK [10/2020 - 10/2023]

      OK

      The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the Techstream is similar to the speed indicated on the speedometer.
